A prominent company donated two all in one Windows 7 27 inch screen computers to the
foundation. Been transferring files and cleaning all of the tired stuff out. Cloud world looks great on this screen!

Yep... the oldest domesticated critter on the planet! :-)
To: nickcarraway
Among the domesticated animals, goats are probably friendliest, despite the nursery story about the bridge and the troll etc. It’s also no exaggeration that they’ll eat pretty much anything, including poison ivy (”like it’s candy” is how a now-deceased older relative once told me), so the milk sometimes has some, uh, unpalatable ingredients. Thanks nickcarraway.

Hi South, herds are cows, horses, etc, but goats/sheep are flocks. Since I have reached my 3/4 centery mark, I might be wrong, but think not...:o)
To: Elsie
My goats ate a long row of pine tree’s in the pasture, didn’t think they’d touch pine needles....they loved them. You could alway tell which one was eating the Pine trees, they had black around their mouth from the sap....One season and all that was left was the trunk of the trees..I guess a few took a liking to the bark also......GG

Goats get wormed every 3-4 months and again 2 weeks later to get rid of the eggs that the wormer didn't kill...at the same time I would trim hoofs, deworm and delouse all at the same time. Goat lice do not live on humans, body temp too low (found this out from my professional shearer that showed up twice a year to shear)/ A good book helps in the beginning but by the first year your a pro. at taking care of goats...my angoras had different needs that other breeds, They can really be fun and a female can easily take care of all their needs, with big bucks and adult weathers it takes a man to help you take them down. (for the hoof trimming etc.) there are special hoof trimming shears. You can have a goat go lame with the feet are not taken care of....You will find that goat people are a great group of people.. You need a vet that deals with farm animals. Many are city vets and you end up knowing more about goats that the vet....they sometimes have to make house calls.Thats important....GG

I got them away from my apple trees before they did too much damage to them.
They sure like apples!

I thought it was a swarm of goats?
To: nickcarraway; South40
LOL swarm are locust with 4 legs and fence your garden off but even according to scripture its a flock. Like shepards were out tending their flock. When I had a bottle baby, a gal around the corner from the farm had dairy goats I use to buy milk from her....One day when I went to get a gallon of milk, her big old billy was on the roof of one of her sheds....She didn’t know how he got there and she said she wasn’t going to help him get down. He was on his own...
To: goat granny
The joke was on her. He ate the shed.

I just spent a couple of hours reading up on all kinds of goats, I guess we have to believe tribe/trip. I didnt find it in any of the articles and websites I went to..(you know how government lies about things big and little) Got on a British site and they called them herds (wrong) but you know the Brits are a bit weird.....LOL...
Found goat disease I didn't know about thank goodness, but saw some horrific hoofs where you wouldn't hardly know where to start in fixing them.... don't understand how someone would let them get that bad......GG
